Latency-Aware Dynamic Resource Allocation Scheme for Multi-Tier 5G Network: A Network Slicing-Multitenancy Scenario

In 5G slice networks, the multi-tenant, multi-tier heterogeneous network will be critical in meeting the quality of service (QoS) requirement of the different slice use cases and in reduction of the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) of mobile network operators. Hence, 5G...

description In 5G slice networks, the multi-tenant, multi-tier heterogeneous network will be critical in meeting the quality of service (QoS) requirement of the different slice use cases and in reduction of the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) of mobile network operators. Hence, 5G slice networks should be as flexible as possible to accommodate different network dynamics such as user location and distribution, different slice use case QoS requirements, cell load, intra-cluster interference, delay bound, packet loss probability, and service level agreement (SLA) of mobile virtual network operators (MVNO). Motivated by this condition, this paper addresses a latency-aware dynamic resource allocation problem for 5G slice networks in a multi-tenant, multi-tier heterogeneous environment, for efficient radio resource management. The latency-aware dynamic resource allocation problem is formulated as a maximum utility optimisation problem. The optimisation problem is transformed and the hierarchical decomposition technique is adopted to reduce the complexities in solving the optimisation problem. Furthermore, we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) intelligent latency-aware resource allocation scheme (GI-LARE). We compare GI-LARE with the static slicing (SS) resource allocation; the spatial branch and bound-based scheme; and, an optimal resource allocation algorithm (ORA) via Monte Carlo simulation. Our findings reveal that GI-LARE outperformed these other schemes.
